Law students are increasingly drawn to local government law as an
alternative to federal partisan gridlock. This law school casebook
is built around three central thematic issues in the field: (1) How
much power should cities have, relative to states or the federal
government (the decentralization question)? (2) How can cities
coordinate with each other across a city-suburb divide, in the
context of regional inequality, racial segregation, and sprawl? (3)
How should city governments be structured and managed internally,
in terms of raising revenue, delivering services (including
police), attracting jobs, and voting? The casebook answers these
questions using case law as well as excerpts from the urban studies
literature (including history, political science, sociology, and
planning). The new edition retains the original vision and
structure of this casebook, while also offering a comprehensive
doctrinal update of fast-moving questions like the state/local
preemption wars, as well as new material related to gentrification,
racial segregation, the abuse of power through local fines and
fees, and conflicts over policing. It is well suited to mixed
classrooms with law and non-law students.
